Can Chelsea Handler Be a Gay Advocate While Dating Homophobe 50 Cent?
After being photographed together Sunday night at Blue Nile Jazz Bar in New Orleans, noted anti-gay tweeter 50 Cent and alleged gay ally Chelsea Handler are “confirmed” (by unidentified sources) to be dating. No wonder she’s not winning any GLAAD awards.
It was only a year ago Chelsea was saying: “I’m like a gay man trapped in a woman’s body, and that’s exactly why the gays and I get along so well. We have the same attitude, which is ‘fuck everybody and let’s say exactly what we think.’ I understand somebody who doesn’t exactly fit in, somebody who’s struggled or felt embarrassed, ashamed, or not confident in who they are. Growing up, I got tortured and made fun of, but that makes you a lot stronger. And now, obviously, I’m very popular.”
And now she’s dating a guy that’s helping teach young kids to torture and make fun of others. Hope he’s at least good in bed, Chels.
UPDATE: Handler takes to Twitter to deny a romance; their meeting was just business.
Ugh. Yet another celebrity female talking about “the gays” as if we’re one big homogenous group of clones. Wonder what the reaction would be if she’d said:
‘I’m like a black woman trapped in a white woman’s body, and that’s exactly why the blacks and I get along so well.’
Or:
‘I’m like a Jew trapped in a gentile’s body, and that’s exactly why the Jews and I get along so well.’

I thought 50 cent was refering to refusing to eat women out from his post.
As for Chelsea Handler, maybe it’s because every other article in OUT magazine is some straight celeb talking about how they love “The Gays” and they feel that they are an honorary gay because of “Insert reason here”…but I’m so f-ing sick of hearing that.

Who cares what Chelsea Handler does? I have honestly never found her funny or particularly gay friendly.
One of her guest comedians jokes ” I wish my son is gay, I think every mother secretly wants their son to be gay so they can keep him around…”
Chelsea’s response “Oh come on, no mother wishes that her son turns out to gay..”
Shes also connected homosexuality with pedophilia on one occasion. (but she’s joking, so it’s ok, right?)
She’s trash and I have NEVER and will never consider her a gay icon regardless of whether or not she is really dating 50 cent

I was upset by 50 Cents tweet, not because I thought he was telling gays to kill themselves (he clearly was talking about many black men not performing oral sex on their female sex partners), but because of it’s timing. We live in a connected world, where the things we say are very much are affected by the context of the time. The tweet was poorly timed and he should admit that and then lets all move on.
Now with that said, here’s the better question, how could she dump Dave Salmoni for 50 Cent. Talk about a downgrade.

@James Davis: He didn’t say “black”.
What is with people putting words in this dude’s mouth?
How would he know if “all black men” were or were not eating out pussy across the globe?
He was speaking to men of all colors in general.
He hasn’t even been socially relevant to most black people for a long time so why would he be singling out black men?

Before any of you go on defending 50 cent’s “pussy tweet” let’s not for one minute forget his earlier tweet at the beginning of September that said the following:
“Perez Hilton called me douchebag, so I had my homie shoot up a gay wedding. Wasn’t his, but still made me feel better,”
Considering the fact that 50 has been long rumored to be a Down Low homosexual, I think that piece of shit has a lot of fucking nerve talking shit about us, oh and as much as I enjoyed Chelsea in the past, this little stunt really has turned me off and I no longer will watch her show. Then again, with the amounts of coke and booze that woman ingests on a daily basis in no wonder she’s now scraping the bottom of the barrel for dick.

Another famewhore saying she’s down with the gays….why can’t gays choose male role models instead….

Chelsea has always seemed pretty gay friendly to me. I’ll reserve judgement on the 50 cent thing until she says she dating him… then that’s another story.

@Brandon: I tend to agree, there is a negative stigma in the tough guy world against going down there. It goes far beyond blacks, they even played off the theme in the Sopranos where a mob war almost started over a rumor about Junior’s pussy eating habits got out. Tony then warned his wife never to disclose that kind of information, she scoffed and said like once a year is anything to brag about. Juniors relationship with that girl came to an abrupt end. The whole thing was hilarious and absurd at the same time. It is something about being less of a man, or if you put your mouth down there what else will you suck on(an anatomy part particular to boys). It is insane how insecure some straights are. I think 50 cent is actually challenging that line of thinking in his statemented. Just my 2 cents.

Is Queerty ever going to leave 50 cent alone?
C’mon guys, I don’t even like the guy or his “music” but it was obvious to me when I read his post that he was referring to sexually inhibited or conservative straight guys, not gays.
In fact, I consider myself gay, I’m not really into females but for some reason, I like performing oral sex on women. It’s about the only heterosexual act have ever found arousing. So there…

Who the hell cares who Chelsea Handler dates? This is even less gay-related and nitpicking than 50′s pussy eating comment. Queerty (and a hand full of other gay blogs) is obviously fascinated with 50 Cent. You all hang on his every word (tweet); he’s got too many in the gay media by the balls right now.
Next headline: “50 Cent does a Target commercial.” That damn gay basher! I’d love…love…love if 50 Cent and Lady Gaga collaborated — not because at all I’m interested in hearing what it would sound like, but because I’d salivate over how Queerty (and its readers) would react.
You’re making 50 an unwitting gay icon. Stop.

@Johno Brooklynn: “she has a gay nephew…”
and I have a bigoted, homophobic uncle, does that mean anything? I have a hard time understanding why people always through in the comment “But X has a gay Y” I think pretty much everyone on the planet has some relation that is gay, but that doesn’t make them innately less homophobic, or hateful. How many republicans are we finding out are actually gay themselves, but that doesn’t keep them from being any less homophobic. If anything, it seems to often make them worse…

@James Davis: “I was upset by 50 Cents tweet, not because I thought he was telling gays to kill themselves…because of it’s timing.”
That’s exactly how I feel about it.
As for the statement about their meeting just being about business, she may be telling the truth.
What many of you don’t know is about the rumours circulating about his own sexuality for years(as is usually the case for homophobes).
Never waste an good opportunity to appear straight & active with a lusty female.
As for all his hateful trash talk—Chalk it up to the cost of doing business.
Irony is…many of you gay fans wouldn’t have it any other way. Off & on, I USED to be one of ‘em(‘cept I can’t tolerate disrespect).

@Sug Night: “Dating him IS being a gay advocate….cause everyone knows he’s on the d.l.”
lmao,I was so trying not to go there…But that is certainly what I was implying in my response.
Kinda glad somebody else mentioned lest I be accused of painting all the world gay.

Oh jeez, give me a break. Why is this here? Because of his empty-headed statements or hers? I don’t care about 50 Cent, and it’s not a little offensive to consider Handler a gay advocate.
I’m a woman and I don’t want to be lumped in with dumb cows like this. I’m sick of them declaring ‘I’m a gay man trapped in a woman’s body!’ when what they really mean is ‘I’m loud, foul-mouthed, and I’m a drunk asshole in gay nightclubs! Give me attention!’
Not advocates, just idiots. I wouldn’t patronize my friends by saying such stupid crap. And they’re not ‘the gays’, they have actual names, thank you.
Oh and incidentally, she’s never been funny in the least.

Chelsea Handler is yet another female FGA (fake gay advocate). Gay men seem to be addicted to female FGA’s.
The gay man’s attitude to female FGA’s can be summed up as:
“Oh, this sexy broad is giving us queers a shout-out, what a wonderful woman, oh my lord I’m so empowered by this woman, she’ll tell her straight male friends off if they ever dare attack us wonderful queers, oh how I wish I could saunter like her with child-bearing hips while giving homophobes a piece of my mind….”

50 cent is not homophobic, he is not a gay basher so what is the problem with Chelsea handler befriending the man? And if people are so inclined to believe this tall tale, then consider the silver lining, if 50Cent really and truly is homophobic then maybe, getting to know Chelsea Handler will help him see the error of his way of thinking.
personal growth sometimes takes patience, guidance, and a push in the right direction. Don’t be so quick to judge and label someone you clearly no nothing about. That’s judgmental and it doesn’t help teach tolerance, nor does it help people those who have never met anyone gay in their lives, and whom may have been raised to believe that homosexuality is wrong to even consider challenge what they have been raised to believe. You can’t teach tolerance and acceptance by behaving with intolerance and hatred.

I don’t think Chelsea Handler will have a problem dating 50, after all she already dates WM who are the most racist, homophobe, evil hypocrites on God’s green earth. WM have and do discriminate against women, gays, jews and blacks as proven by the passage of the hate crime bill years ago. So for you whites who think 50 is a homophobe for his speech start paying attention to who is actually committing hate crimes against gays and everybody else and you will find that they are usually WM. I learned a long time ago that a lie spreads like wildfire and the truth is denounced and belittled.

@Mike: Agreed. She has always used gayness as a base for her insults and snarks, especially to members of her panel, who tend to be loads funnier than her horse-faced ass. Brad Wallaoch (sp) and Joe Koy seem to be fodder for her unfunny “gay” jokes. So now she’s blowing 50 Cent’s ugly ass. Well, he makes enough money to support her alleged massive coke habit. I initially found her interesting, but she has quickly become rather one-note. No wonder Dave Salmoni drop-kicked her ass.

@Mike: Sometimes when someone is angry or slightly drunk, the truth comes out. When Handler has been angry at someone, her way to insult them is by calling them gay. In between jokes, she is always reminding the audience that her gay experience was just a weekend mistake. What that tells me is that being called gay is troublesome for her. When she made fun of Angelina Jolie’s children it was about race and sexual orientation. I think she has an inner problem with the issue. She attacks celebrities if they are not upfront about their sexuality but reminds everyone not to call her gay at every chance she gets. Her facebook page is all about posting her staff’s pictures and exposing their sexuality with cheap humor. I have always perceived this woman as pathologically insecure and extremely hipocritical with serious psychological, drug and alcohol dependency & sexual identity issues.

Ms. Handler cares more about her vagina, than equality.
All this shows is that contrary to what they say, women prefer douchebags over nice guys.
